  • WHO LET MG GET AWAY WITH THIS?!?!
    MG have just released this, the 2024 MG4 XPower, which is an absolutely HEAD-MUSHING electric super hatch. With about as much performance as a Lambourghini or Ferrari for just $59,990, it's pretty easy to see why this would be so damn appealing. But, that doesn't mean it's all amazing. Let's talk about the MG4 XPower in today's review!

      @@dadycommunity2784 I was going say the app but that's been updated and works most of the time. Another bad thing is that it's very easy to get points you need to refrain from using it. You might be used to highly powered cars I thought I was 🤣 go for a test drive. It's half the cost of anything a it's class. You'll see where savings have been made IE no plastic trimmings around the inside of the boot lid for instance.

    The largest battery capacity of the MG4 is 77Kwhr, not 72. Cheers lads.

      People are spoilt in “performance” cars these days. A bit of fake carbon fibre goes a long way ;).
      These days even basic cars come with features you wouldn’t have dreamed of in a Lancer 20 years ago. 20 years ago the most high tech feature of my WRX were the Alpine stereo with MP3 playback and the Viper alarm with remote start.

      When an entry level corolla is ~$35k, yes. At this price point the base MG4 51kWh for $41k is quite compelling.
      No idea how you arrive at 15k as a "should be" price. Kia Picanto and MG3 are basically the cheapest new cars you can buy in Aus and they're both ~19k AUD.

    • @JoshuaMcTackett
      @JoshuaMcTackett Před 5 měsíci +10

      Let's be real. The party trick of hard pulls is 90% of what people want in a fast car. Suspension, braking, cornering, etc are important in a race, but this also isn't a race car. It's just a fast car, and I think people will like that.

    • @mahcooharper9577
      @mahcooharper9577 Před 5 měsíci +2

      @@CarSauce yes, I can see why you enjoyed it so much - ballistic acceleration is fun, in anything.
      But I've lived cars all my life and owned everything from 120Ys to AU Falcons to Porsches and V8 Mercs (not a SsangYong Chairman yet tho!) and I would never spend that sort of money on a Chinese EV and most people I know who I would trust with a ballistic car are the same.
      Which means a lot of people who actually buy those cars are most likely going to be non-car people who like the IDEA of having something that goes super fast but are not ready for the reality of it. As you know, you need to adjust a lot of things about your driving when you graduate to something like that, and I see a massive number of MG drivers who I don't think should even be behind the wheel of an MG3 let alone something that does 0-100 in sub 4 seconds.
      A big concern for me, which may or may not be borne out in the real world, is that there's a lot of stuff appearing in Chinese cars where the engineering is underdone. Thinking the Tank lane keep assist and braking, the GWM Ora that electrocutes you if you unplug it and the zero star MG5 just for a start. I hope some fundamental engineering issue like that doesn't rear its head in a car with this sort of performance.
      Time will tell, and in any case I love your reviews. They're always great fun and informative, so keep it up.

    • @mahcooharper9577
      @mahcooharper9577 Před 5 měsíci

      @@JoshuaMcTackett you might be right, but that's part of the problem. There's a lot more to being a performance car (and a performance driver) than getting a big shove in the back - and most people with the experience to sensibly handle something like that amount of go will not be buying a Chinese MG. When these depreciate in a year or two (which they will) they'll almost be P plater money and frankly I'm glad none of my friends (or even I) had access to a cheap car with 320kW before I had the brainpower to use it in appropriate circumstances and the skills to handle the implications of it.
